<font size=2 face="Calibri">Dear all,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">Some additional clarifications from the
Secretariat</font>
<br>
<ol>
<li value=1><font size=2 face="Calibri">To join a Working Group, the procedures
state that “</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">a person “joins”
a WG by subscribing to the mailing list.</font><font size=2 face="Calibri">”.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
</font><font size=2 face="Calibri">This list is created by the Secretariat,
but maintained by the Working Group per the procedures</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
“A minimum requirement for the day-to-day activities of a WG is therefore
that it must maintain an official moderated and archived CCSDS mailing
list. Every WG will be provided with its own list capability by the Secretariat"</font>
<li value=2><font size=2 face="Calibri">It is possible that individuals
have joined a WG (by the definition above) without actually joining the
CWE. They are on separate servers and administered by the WGs. </font><font size=2 color=red face="Calibri"><b>The
intent of the procedures is that individuals joining a WG will also have
a CWE account and an associated sponsoring agency though</b></font><font size=2 face="Calibri">.
This is evidenced by the fact that the procedures state that “</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">All
members of the WG will have access to the private Web areas, using a user
ID issued by the Secretariat.</font><font size=2 face="Calibri"> “ Thus,
it seems reasonable to ascertain that</font><font size=2 color=red face="Calibri"><b>
‘members’ are those individuals whom also have CWE access credentials,
and as such, have a sponsoring agency approving their membership. </b></font><font size=3 color=blue face="Calibri"><b><u>There
is thus a disconnect in the procedures that we are currently trying to
address.</u></b></font></ol>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Dear WG Chairs</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">CMC, CESG and the Secretariat are discussing
an update of the Procedure and Organization YB to improve the text when
defining the criteria for joining the Working Group mailing lists, regarding
external requests for individuals with no sponsoring Agency.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Every WG will have its official WG mailing
list for normal operation, but you may also, at your discretion, request
creation of a "WG Info" mailing list for outreach. This mailing
list will be broadly open to the public.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">When discussing at CESG level, we also
address the need for the WG Chairs to carry out a sanity check in their
current mailing lists. There are some WGs with more than hundred members.
Members with no sponsoring Agency have to be brought to the attention of
the ADs.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">You will find attached exports (produced
by the Secretariat) for all members within the current open WGs and BoFs.
</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We kindly ask that the chairs perform
changes to the mailing lists via the web interface.</font>

<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If a WG Chair has lost their Admin Password,
or need instructions on how to remove an e-mail account; then please have
them contact CCSDS Tech Support at </font><a href=mailto:techsupport@mailman.ccsds.org><font size=2 color=blue face="sans-serif"><u>techsupport@mailman.ccsds.org</u></font></a><font size=2 face="sans-serif">.</font>
